On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 47 Skillful Hands
  "I'll go find him in the afternoon and try to get him to agree to let you all out." Xiao Xiao said after telling her plan: "You just need to cooperate with me, dad, you will show the attitude of selling your daughter for glory."

Boss Xiao felt that this was not a problem and nodded firmly: "Then I will definitely not hold you back!"

He dares to pat his chest and proudly promise that he can perform as he is.

Master Wu coughed from outside, and soon a jailer smelling of alcohol came to urge them to leave.

The jailer obviously got the instructions from his superiors, and specifically asked Mrs. Liu and the others to persuade Xiao Xiu, so that if she obeyed, she would be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, but not to be toasted, not to eat, and to be punished with wine. When they took action, that would be It's been torn.

Ms. Liu's eyes were red and she nodded obediently.

The cell where the female relatives were detained was even more empty. When Wu saw them, she grabbed the wooden fence of the cell and cried: "Dad, sister-in-law, we are so wronged..."

She really regretted it.

If he had known that there would be such a big fuss, he would not have said anything, let alone take action, even if he beat her to death.

After being locked up in the cell for just one night, rats kept coming to visit me, and mosquitoes kept coming to visit me. It was even more difficult than sleeping in the open air.

Furthermore, she also knew that Xiao Xiu, her eldest brother, and her husband were all implicated by her, and she was deeply afraid that they would not care about her.

So when I see them, I cry first.

Mr. Xiao glared at her and scolded her angrily: "Shut up, you thought you were in Hutan Town, yet you dared to act out and bring trouble to the whole family, if it wasn't for Dalang and the others' sake. , I have to divorce you, you loser!"

He really hated his little daughter-in-law for causing such trouble, so he reprimanded her sternly.

It is also to let the eldest daughter-in-law and the others calm down, so as not to think that the elders are partial to the second wife.

Wu felt happy after hearing this. Although she was scolded by her father-in-law, she was relieved to hear that she would not divorce her.

Being scolded a few times didn't hurt or itch her, and she didn't lose a piece of flesh. It could go in her left ear and come out right.

He immediately admitted his mistake with a low eyebrow: "Dad, sister-in-law, I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!"

Xiao Lian rolled her eyes after hearing this, held her eldest sister's hand through the fence, and whispered their idea in a low voice.

Xiao Xiu immediately said after hearing this: "How can I let you take risks? Why not go by myself?"

Then he wiped away tears with the back of his hand and said firmly: "You are not allowed to go, I will go!"

Xiao Lian also had red circles in her eyes and was very determined: "Sister, if you change your words so quickly, he will be on guard. It's better for me to go!"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but cry. Her three daughters were all her darlings, and she felt bad for any one of them who had been wronged.

She only regretted that she was older, otherwise she would rather go alone.

Xiao Xiao also wanted to cry, so she deliberately joked: "Okay, don't turn against the sisters because of wealth. I am the smartest, so of course I will go!"

Wu, who was beside her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had no problem with whoever was going. As long as she could go out with all her beard and tail intact, she would be thankful to God.

After being urged to leave by the jailer, Mr. Wu excused himself to buy medicinal materials and went ahead. Xiao Xiao also went to the rouge shop and bought several rouge gouache.

She is also self-aware. With her current situation, she may not be able to attract the attention of the traitor Sheng.

Not to mention, there are many kinds of rouges in the shop. The lipsticks are brightly colored and there are several kinds of lipsticks. The better ones smell very fragrant and are very expensive. A box of lipsticks costs two taels of silver. The female shop assistant introduced it very carefully: "There are several kinds of bath beans. The lower quality ones only cost 20 cents. The ones with osmanthus fragrance are the best and cost one tael of silver per box. They can moisturize the skin..."

Xiao Xiao is particularly regretful that he did not study science and engineering, otherwise, no matter which dynasty, rouge and gouache would be a hugely profitable industry.

However, when she was bored, she also made soap, and she could try it out later when she settled down.

She chose a box of facial balm, a box of Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder, a small box of lip balm, and a stick of snail daisy, which cost her twelve taels of silver.

When Mrs. Liu paid the money, her hands were shaking.

Good guy, in the past, she was only willing to buy a box of marzipan for 180 yuan, which was considered a luxury in other countries. She never thought that she would spend such a large amount on these fancy gadgets.

This is money that ordinary people can save after a year of hard work.

It was too late to buy cloth to make clothes. Fortunately, there was a clothing store here. She carefully selected a pink dress, white skirt, and light pink embroidered shoes, and spent more than three taels of silver.

Xiao Lian saw her younger sister wasting money. She was reluctant to spend money, and she blamed her younger sister for being too ambitious. She asked her to choose silver-red or rose-red dresses, but she didn't want to listen and insisted on choosing such dull dresses.

After returning home, Xiao Xiao took a bath with hot water, applied egg white to her face, and then began to draw her eyebrows and eyes carefully in front of the mirror.

After she put on her makeup and put on new clothes, she looked at the stunned Xiao Lian beside her and asked, "Am I good-looking?"

Just kidding, she used to keep a low profile and would never admit that she was not good-looking.

Besides, they don’t know that putting on makeup is also called a hair change, which is simply a makeover.

Xiao Lian was stunned and nodded blankly: "It's like a different person, how do you know this?"

Her sister overturned her understanding.

She originally thought that bright clothes looked better, but now she realized that such plain colors looked better.

In addition, the rouge can also be applied to the eyelids. In addition to drawing eyebrows, Luo Zidai can also be painted under the eyelashes and lightly on the bridge of the nose.

She used to think that curved and thin willow leaf eyebrows were more beautiful, but now she saw her sister draw her eyebrows up slowly, and then gently slide them down, with obvious eyebrow peaks making them more lively.

The younger sister now has a fair complexion and outstanding eyebrows. The look in her eyes made her heart skip a beat.

Xiao Xiao definitely couldn't tell the truth, but she could lie without changing her face or heartbeat: "I used to go to a rouge shop in town and saw the shopkeeper dressing up girls, so I learned the lesson. It's not difficult!"

Xiao Lian was shocked by her. Why did she find it so difficult when she looked at it?
  On the other hand, Sheng Yang drank a lot last night, and it was already afternoon when he woke up today. He simply didn't even go to the Yamen. After eating, he asked the boy: "What's going on over there in the cell?"

He also admitted that he liked the new and disliked the old. It had been more than three months, and the seven common rooms in the house were already old people.

The boy looked flattering: "Master, you are far-sighted. The Xiao family has gone to persuade Miss Xiao today. I guess good news will come tomorrow."

Sheng Yang touched his chin, with the confidence of Long Aotian, and smiled proudly: "Haha, no one can escape from the palm of my hand!"

The young man repeatedly agreed that his master was both civil and military, and wished he could blow his master to the sky.

Sheng Yang then flipped through the invitation card sent by the squire, wondering whether to go to Baihua House or Peony Pavilion for entertainment in the evening, when he heard the waiter coming to report with a dazed look on his face: "Master, the third girl of the Xiao family is outside asking to see you!"
